Emanuel Wilson vs Ty Johnson: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Emanuel Wilson finished the 2025 season at 5.1 PPG over 17 games with the Seattle Seahawks, while Ty Johnson clocked in at 5.2 across 17 appearances for the Buffalo Bills. A 0.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Emanuel Wilson ran for 496 yards and 3 touchdowns; Ty Johnson posted 200 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Emanuel Wilson is off Week 10 and Ty Johnson Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
